Book clubs in Poole

I've already converted 3 people into the SJM universe. If you stand still long enough then I'll try and covert you too.

A great love story - insight into the Georgian period. Lovely prose. Lots of humour too

True life that reads like a great thriller. Incredible story of a criminal who became a war hero. The film "Triple Cross" (Christopher Plummer) does not do justice to the true story.

From the modern Queen of Crime, a non-fiction book on Forensics. Fascinating read - very informative. Helped me with my writing my police-procedural "DCI Harry Morgan: Casebook". Lovers of Lincoln Rhyme novels by Jeffery Deaver will like this book.

Book 1 of a great series, featuring the Tudor lawyer Shardlake. Great writing brings the period to life. Characters you grow to love and fear for.

Part of a trilogy featuring Thomas Cromwell. Unusual prose, then the penny drops, we're in the head of Thomas, his thoughts, observations, actions are shared with the reader intimately. Made a great TV series from it.

I read this before the TV series. It is amazing. I could not have imagined being enthralled by the story of man imprisoned in a Moscow hotel after the 1917 revolution but it grips at the heartstrings.

So much better than the movie. The tender story of a young girl growing up in harsh circumstances and the troubles she goes through.

Introducing Eddie Flynn - an non-conventional lawyer. Incredible plot twists. Great crime writer

Agatha Christie meets Joseph Conrad. Murder mystery. The first book by AM that I read and I became a fan, especially of his Sean Duffy NI detective stories set during the troubles. His latest novels are The Chain, and The Island, both massive bestsellers.

Espionage brought brilliant to life by the tv series starring Gary Oldman. The prose is amazing, the humour dark, the danger of double and triple-crossing. A great series of books.

Part of a trilogy. Not the easiest read - quite detailed on the horrors and atrocities of the drug lords in Central and South America. A pageturner all the same.

An FF enemies to lovers with great worldbuilding and characters!

It's 450 pages of slow slice of life, manipulation, feminism and misogyny, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in a vivid and , sometimes, unsettling way. It is very character driven and It's not focused around figuring out the killings, it's a slow paced character development sequence. The author questions some deep seated Japanese stereotypes, more around women and cooking.
